We had best figure this out in a hurry! My local paper headlined the tale of 
a
76-year-old man dying of a heart attack in plain view on a downtown-Toronto
street, while NOBODY bothered to help...?! As we ALL get older (especially
78 collectors, and thus 78-L folks...?!) the likelihood of our dropping over
stone cold dead increases...!

One wonders why some 21st-century entrepreneur isn't selling "If my body
is found, please inform...?!" tags, to be worn in case of "emergency?!"
